The 76ers have some problems that need to be addressed. After trading away Andre Iguodala in August for Andrew Bynum, they seemingly solidified their frontcourt. The loss of Bynum to his bilateral bone bruises has been tough on the Sixers. Perhaps the biggest blow to the Sixers came last week when Jrue Holiday missed time with a foot sprain. The Sixers lost five straight games before winning two of their last three. The lack of depth at the point guard position has been a concern for the team since the summer.Well, it turns out that the 76ers had a plan to address the issue last week before the Cleveland Cavalier threw a wrench into it. According to Rich Bucher via Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors when the Washington Wizards released Shaun Livingston, the Sixers planned to claim the point guard. Unfortunately the Cavaliers claimed Livingston leaving the 76ers empty handed.Adams points out that the Sixers are still in the market for some depth.

“While they didn't land Livingston, the Sixers are looking for point guard depth, according to Bucher. Jrue Holiday is having a career year in the starting role, but neither Royal Ivey or Maalik Wayns has been particularly productive off the bench. The Sixers have an open roster spot, and could create another one if they decide not to guarantee Wayns' contract by January 10th, so there's room to make a move.”

Whether that move is a trade (the 76ers were rumored to be interested in Minnesota’s J.J. Barea) or a signing, it is clear that the Sixers brass is not pleased with the point guard production beyond Jrue Holiday.-Steve DolanFollow Steve on Twitter @SDolan3Follow Whiz Wit on Twitter @WhizWitSports
